La cité de Carcassonne

Info: Office de tourisme de Carcassonne

Meeting point of so many People moving up to their destiny, Carcassonne is much more than a fifty-two- towers flanked City standing on its rock and doubled with a Bastide languorously lying along
the banks of the Aude river, much more than a slice of Middle-Age: She is 2600 years of History!

Le Canal du midi

The "Canal des Deux Mers"used to be the Fortune Avenue, the transport of goods and travellers avenue. Today, it is a shady boulevard of platanes for slow descovering seamen, quiet landscapes
fishermen simply passing by, marvelling, gliding along the course of the river.

Les châteaux cathares

In the XIII Century, The Châteaux Cathares were the witness of the Albigensian Crusade which devastated the Oc region from the Rhone to the Garonne. Lots of them are standing around
Carcassonne, the most famous ones are named: Peyrepertuse, Queribus, Termes, Aguilar, Durfort (Corbières); Saissac, Ventajou, Minerve (Montagne Noire); Usson, Puylaurens, Montségur (Pyrenees)...
